# JumpCloud SAML SSO

> Here we will show you how to set up your own custom SAML application for JumpCloud SAML

## Create application

1. From your JumpCloud Admin console, click **SSO** from the left navigation menu.
2. If your application is already created, choose it from the list and move to the section [Configure Application](#configure-application)
3. If you haven't created a SAML application, click **plus icon** and then **Custom SAML App** to create a new application

## Configure application

1. Next click on the **SSO** tab and enter the following values:

   * **IdP Entity ID**
   * **SP Entity ID**
   * **ACS URL**

   Replace the values with the ones you have received from Aampe.

## Attribute mapping

Under the **Attributes** section, you have to configure the following attributes:

See the screenshot below.

| Service Provider Attribute Name | JumpCloud Attribute Name |
| :------------------------------ | :----------------------- |
| `firstName`                     | `firstname`              |
| `lastName`                      | `lastname`               |

Make sure you have checked the **Declare Redirect Endpoint** checkbox.

Finally, click **Activate** to save the application configuration.

Now go back to the SAML app you just created, click the tab **SSO**, and click the button **Export Metadata** to download the metadata XML file.
